  2. Understanding Transgender Issues in Jewish Ethics

    The dominant approach to gender in Western society has its origin in Christian thought that understands both sex and gender as binary.

  7. The Wealth Gap: How We Chose This Issue

    Our Tikkun Olam Commission developed a set of criteria to guide its social justice recommendations for the movement. Every couple of years, the Commission will advise that the Reconstructionist movement concentrate on a new issue which, on balance, best meets these criteria.

    Here’s how the wealth gap meets the criteria we’ve set for a movement-wide focus:
